Hello, Millennials. I'm here to ask one simple question. What do you consider to be the absolute best millennial kino?
List me movies, from this side of the millennium, that you really like - and imagine keep liking (and rewatching) - for years to come?
WTF does it all mean?
The graph? My question?
Honestly, I just wonder that the kids of today consider the best movies. Movies they imagine watching for years to come. (Because, to me, that's the hallmark of a great movie: that you can watch and enjoy it several times.)
It's basically showing how certain age groups defined themselves as a generation. The 18-34 group defined themselves as 40% Millennial and 33% Gen X, etc.
What the Bleep Do We Know!?
Its about how, because there's a ton of stuff you'll never know or understand, that means you can believe in whatever bullshit you want.
>people born after 1930 consider themselves part of the "greatest generation"
Shit and I thought millenials had big heads.
since 2000 i'd say TWBB and the master but those are prob "pleb" answers, either way, love them both
JAJAJAJ EL KINO AJAJAJAJA
>jews born after 1950 consider themselves "holocaust survivors"
There Will Be Blood
*after 1927
People born in 1928 and later didn't serve in ww2
definitely TWBB. if that movie came out in the 90's it would have been completely ignored compared to all the way better movies.
The millennials who identify as Gen X are probably born in 1982-1985. 32-35 year olds always want to weasel out of being millennials because of the younger ones giving them bad reputation, even though they are the O.G. Millennials (high school class of 2000)
I mean, let's be real here, anyone born in or before 1950 with enough smarts had a chance of being able to put a man on the moon. A lot of people in the Silent Generation deserve to be part of The Greatest. It's pretty funny that Boomers are the most correct, though.
probably has something to do with how growing up in the late 80s and early 90s was completely and totally different than, say, growing up with a phone jammed up your ass 24/7.
That's true but even early 2000s social media was nothing like today with hashtags, Twitter, iphones, and Facebook shit posted everywhere. The cancerous social media started around 2007-2008.
Even if you're a younger millennial, i.e. 22, then you would have been 12-13 when this occurred. Childhood ends when you're around 10. In other words, if you're 22, most of your childhood was NOT spent with a phone jammed up your ass 24/7.
Well that chart tells me that 20 and 30 yr. olds don't know what greatest generation means.
social media was always pure cancer. From the moment the term was coined.
how is the MAGA generation not the greatest generation?
how do you even put a difference between someone that is 34 years old and one that is 35.
easy, you just did
>8%of millennials consider themselves part of the Boomer generation
? Are they retarded or is it backlash from millennial shaming?
>jews consider themselves "holocaust survivors"
John Wick and 2
Dunkirk
or 18 year olds who were born when their now 70 year old parents were 50.
>8% of millennials consider themselves part of the Greatest Generation
dude what
but on a cultural/generational level they are pretty much the same
yes which is why these "generations" are retarded
Mulholland drive.
I think it's the only 2000s+ movie I watched several times with the same satisfaction.
I'd even dare to say it's the best movie in the last 20 years
Shrek is probably the most important movie of my generation.
Hey reddit
Good movies don't have generational borders, Gen Z.
I can see how a lot of millenials consider themselves to be part of gen x, but how the fuck do they see themselves as boomers or even further back
are they just retarded?
Fight Club
Hipsters I suppose. Why they would identify with the shitest generation is beyond me, though.
The Bling Ring
I think they didn't know that WWII vets are generally called that and just assumed they were being asked if they were literally the greatest.
Glad I'm a Gen X and not a millennial. No rope day for me. That's reserved for the boomers and millennials. feels gud.
That's the greatest generation.
There will be blood
I don't know what generation I am to be perfectly honest.
I'm 19, although my mother had me pretty late, and was born in 1961.
So I feel caught between two generations as most people my age have younger parents. (So basically I think I got different values growing up than people my age did, if that makes sense)
My eldest brother is 18 years older than me, and he was born in 1979.
what about the xennials?
youtube.com
what year were you born?
Mad Max: Fury Road
Agreed
Opinion discarded. Millennials are what they are, and Gen X will be what they are. But truth is Millennials fucked it up for Gen X.
In a sense we are all holocaust survivors.The holocaust actually happened and nobody who's on Sup Forums right now got killed in it, so we survived it.
You can't compare the youth of a 30 year old with an 18 year old now, not even in the same ballpark
What about the 70 year olds who think they're millennials?
Born in the mid to late seventies bro. I'm safe.

you list all of that shit yet don't put children of men on there? wtf is wrong with you? fuck you.
I'm 24 years old, and my personal favourite post-2000 films would include Hot Fuzz, Fury Road, 21 Jump Street,the LEGO movie, maybe Tangled, and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, off the top of my head. I feel like millennials don't have any deep culture of their own, and most of it is adopted from the past or other target audiences.
I consider stuff like Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead films that speak to our generation, they feed on prior popular culture and are fast moving films,which works well for our ADHD minds.
Marvel stuff is obviously iconic now so I guess that should be in there for our demographic, because every time I've gone to see one in a cinema it's been full of millennials. Again, this has been taken from another format that was more popular in another time.
Adventure Time and Rick and Morty are also millennial. Adventure Time is notable because we probably weren't the target audience originally but millennials will bandwagon things that aren't specifically for them (I also consider The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller millennial-adopted media, and of course MLP. Reboots also come to mind). Rick and Morty is full of references.
Those are just observational assumptions though. All the films I listed can be categorised into one of these groupings, fuck.
Don't you have anything better to do than be on Sup Forums?
>He thinks life gets better.
Pitch Perfect
this I work and have kidz mang. Do you actually think you will ever grow up out of this place? You're sorely mistaken.
Nolan will be looked back on as the defining director of the generation, basically Spielberg of the 2000s.
Lord of the Rings is already remembered as one of the medium's finest works.
No one will give a shit about most of the comic book movies in 20 years time. They'll be looked back on like we now look back on early science fiction 'Attack of the blob' movies and those Hammer horror flicks.
Sci fi will remain popular, so movies like Mad Max, Edge of Tomorrow, Planet of the Apes reboots, Snowpiercer, Moon, Arrival, etc, will continue to build cult followings and be highly regarded outside of the mainstream. Personally I consider these to have the most lasting power and rewatchability.
>Nolan
>LotR
Wtf did I just read?
Millennial kíno is when you trying to be The Amazing Spider-Man but ended up as simply Spider-Man because 10's cape movies came too fucking late.
If you caught my drift.
>all of those people trying to get on the boomer/silent/greatest train
Why? You just can't be a boomer if you were born in 2000. What the fuck man
They were supposed to be separate points. I can't format my shit.
>Gen X facing midlife crisis
Is life better than the 20something years?
There are new generations of Holocaust survivors who haven't even been born yet
I think you're too optimistic. Millennials don't watch LotR, and Marvel (maybe not an individual film, but the franchise overall) will be iconic for its scope.
The cult films will be remembered well by a small group but that won't make it quintessential millennial kino
1983 here
Myself and most of my age group consider ourselves millennials, despite it being an awful phrase. High student debt, crap housing, technology is society, Tony Blair, regular testing, Pokomon and the hero turtles.
I think we also feel like the internet is ours. What I mean by that is we used BBS in primary school, by the time I started secondary they had this new fangled internet in the library. We rushed home and tricked our parents into getting it because "mah school work".
The kids a bit older than us don't have quite the same relationship to the net as we do, I can't even say how. So yeah, I think your attitude to the internet defines you as a millennial
In regards to OP; I'd say The Matrix, even if I don't think its the greatest thing ever. Its very of its Era
Baby boomer is the easiest to define
Its a statistically demonstrable demographic change post-war
The others are kinda bullshit
2% of millennials consider themselves to be Boomers?
It's a Fallout reference
how old is this
i don't consider myself to be a millennial, i'm gen Z
>The millennials who identify as Gen X are probably born in 1982-1985. 32-35 year olds always want to weasel out of being millennials because of the younger ones giving them bad reputation, even though they are the O.G. Millennials (high school class of 2000)
That's 100% what it is, but there's an argument to be made there (1982 kid here, btw) - The generation "lines" being somewhat arbitrary. There's actually a more noticeable generation gap between us and the younger millenials than between us and the Gen X crowd. Sure, we grew up with electronics and a nascent internet, but it was also still a world of pay phones and physical media, rock music and family sitcoms. It doesn't help that most 90's pop culture was throwback / retro stuff.
Could be just my own version of "Damn kids", I suppose. But I see a lot of generation-defining stuff - cellphones, downloadable everything, reality tv, social media, etc - that only became widely available when we were already grown, and (at least in my case) working too many hours to have any time for.
The best movie about millenials?
All About Lily Chou Chou
If that's true then they are literally bringing suffering into the world. Maybe they should let their traumatized genes rest for eternity.

That's a good point.
8% of Millennials consider the Greatest generation to be the best
I'm a millennial with baby boomer parents. I think that kept me grounded in reality I feel like I can relate to Gen X the most. Gen Z doesn't know what its like the live in the world with the internet or a smart phone. Their concept of reality is fucked. What the fuck happened to Millennials to make them this retarded.
since the year 2000 the average attention span of humans have dropped from 12 seconds to 8
Hell, I was born in 1988 and up until about 5 years ago we were called Gen Y.
I understand the idea of lumping generations into 25 year spans, but pre-internet my life (we got it when I was 12) had a lot more in common with Gen X than somebody who is 19 today.
>He only got a computer in 2000
Miami Vice (best movie to come out since 2000 but nothing to do with the times, Mann just hit the right spot)
Love & Pop (1998 but extremely millennial)
Beyond the Black Rainbow (anti-Boomer kino)
Hell or High Water (entropy-kino)
Femme Fatale (again, nothing to do with the times. An excellent movie which happens to have been made in 2002)
Probably more that I can't think of right now.
Stop posting on Sup Forums forever. Every time somebody who considers LotR to be a great achievement in filmmaking posts in a thread I view I die a little inside.
>the generation that fucked the world over considers themselves the '''''''''''''''' greatest'''''''''''''''''''''''' generation
wow im really loving this unprecedented income inequality, climate change and globalist rule of our previously sovereign nation thanks gramps for defeating those evil nazis
my father bought his first computer back in 96, ordered the parts from all around europe, cost him an entire month's salary (around $9000 adjusted with inflation) but he thought it was worth it
he's a real tech geek tho, built his own police radio scanner during college for fun
Millenial movies? I guess the "Despicable Me" franchise because they have minions I guess.
Yes
Could be that they don't know math and think that 1946 happened "like before facebook" and because they heard they were born before facebook they took it to be the same thing.
At least they self identify as part of the greatest generation. It's called "trans-generational dysphoria".
That is not what the diagram says.
You make that long list and did not put "12 monkeys" in there?
Generations is a marketing tool, it does not mean much other than as a predictor of what you will buy.
Other '83. This oldfag has the right idea.
My relationship with the internet relates 10 times more with older people who came into it as adults seeing as I wasn't a kid when I got to use it. The significant cutoff is being born with a pc in your house regardless of if there's anyone in the family working in or related to computers or IT and having internet access and the world being at your disposal before you even had the mental capacity to know how to behave and how to make use of it and not let it define you.
There's a generation of people who's capable of saying shit like "I work on youtube" and "he's a gaming professional" with a straight face. And that is hard to do when you still see this all of this shit as various iterations of "I KISS YOU".
Enter quarterlife crisis

Millennialkino, amirite?
OP here. Nice to read all your answers. I was pretty drunk last night, when I made this thread, and it only picked up steam after I had already passed out, heh.
>xennials
Holy shit, is this really a thing? First time hearing about it, but sounds really apt! Might even adopt this term. (Personally I think millennials were born between 1990 and 2010, but adding xennials to the timeline is at least better than mixing all of the 80s and 90s kids into the same group.)
Nice list, but by "Casino" do you mean Casino Royale, or...?
Underrated post. Feels like you really hit the millennial sweet spot - the stuff that is hip with the kids right now. Thank you for your list.
>I think your attitude to the internet defines you as a millennial
This would make a great cut-off point, I agree. Millennials are those to whom the Internet was "always there". They can't remember what it felt like, when everyone was "getting online".
Bro, even if you go to work and have a family, life doesn't get more exiciting than this. When it comes to killing your free time, Sup Forums is still #1.
I was born in 1993 and i remember the time when everyone was getting into internet in late 90's and 00's. I still remember when even though they put internet addresses in ads, most people couldn't reach those sites because computers with internet were still so scarce. Maybe i just have better memory than most, but that kinda takes away from your definition. However i was only in my late teens when internet had become totally mainstream and mobile.
>the generation that fucked the world over considers themselves the '''''''''''''''' greatest'''''''''''''''''''''''' generation
that's mostly baby boomers, not the greatest generation. still a shitty name though.

I really wanna see a chart like this but showing what's the gender most people identify as.
Nazis were also part of the greatest generation. Sure those who fought for allies in greatest generation fucked up, but still the 50's were their culture. It was still conservative and virile. The boomers, who defined culture from 60's to 00's were the ones who destroyed the conservative culture of the greatest generation, and with it the western world.
what you're remembering is the tail end of the dot-bomb era. There's a huge cultural divide between that and mainstream internet.
Probably this

ok so i was born in 1994, in my country there never was some kind of devision of generations, only something like be child, adult or old, so i don't know who i'm, am i millenial or gen x or what?
Millenial. As long as you western this shit applies to you.
